Ever wonder if someone really buys into the whole Lean/Agile way of thinking or if they are just giving lip service to a bunch of terms? To find out, just watch them drive.
Imagine a Waterfall Curmudgeon, we will call him Steve, and an Agile Bigot, call him Mike.
They both approach a stop sign for a right turn onto a road with 4 lanes...so they have two lanes they could turn into.
They both need to make a left turn a ways up the road. Not immediately, but somewhere soon.
Curmudgeon Steve waits until both lanes of oncoming traffic clear so that he can be in the correct lane for that left turn from the get go.
Everyone is stuck waiting behind Curmudgeon Steve to turn and gets pissed off.
Curmudgeon Steve is pissed at himself when he finds his left turn blocked by unforeseen road construction on the road ahead.
Bigot Mike turns into the first lane and then merges left when he can...or not all because the landscape changed.
Don't be a Steve.
